thanks for the information Malcolm, I hope all make full recovery, despite the "critical" reports on Pete Symes and Dave Taylor.

Unfortunately, David Taylor has succumbed to his injuries. A very sad end to what sounded like a brilliant MGP; and my thoughts are with his loved-ones & the many friends he had in the roadracing world and beyond. Rest peacefully David.
Let's hope the other 2 guys who were seriously injured in The Senior' manage to pull through & return to full health. God it's cruel sport sometimes.
